Includes files acquired through Franklin's government, professional, and community service with various organizations and projects. Materials range in date from the 1950s through the 2000s and are arranged alphabetically by organization or project name. These files attest to Franklin's wide-ranging interests and influence, including his role in the civil rights movement (as seen through his work with the NAACP, the NAACP Legal and Educational Defense Fund, the US Commission on Civil Rights, and CORE), his prominence in the historical profession (as seen through his presidencies of historical associations, including the American Historical Association, the Southern Historical Association, and the Organization of American Historians), his commitment to scholarship and education (as demonstrated by his work on the Fisk University Board of Trustees, Phi Beta Kappa, and the Board of Foreign Scholarships), and his wide-ranging community service (such as his fundraising for Planned Parenthood, his involvement in different museums and parks, and his political engagement with the Democratic Party and opposing conservative Supreme Court nominees).
